Guess what All teams will be paying their Good players that Much. So guess there will be no SuperBowl going forward.

Every team can look back on a draft with regret, but man, a lot of good players got passed up after TJ.

Sanu

Hilton

Hes worth every penny.       You should watch a Seahawks game 

 

I respectfully disagree.  Again, I reiterate - no athlete is worth that kind of money.  He's a decent QB, but, no.

Said everytime a new contract gets signed by a premier Athlete. 

 

Guess what logic says if the Seattle Seahawks are paying that then he is worth that to them Doesn’t it.

I think he is a good QB because he has a team to support him and the team will not be as good when the money going into his pocket could fund 3-4 good players.

The salary cap continues to increase....New TV contracts are coming up...there will be plenty of money to fund 3-4 good players...plus what's the point of the 3-4 good players if your QB sucks?

RW is a very good QB.  The guaranteed $ alone is 26.75 per year.

 

IMO I think its too much for a guy who isn't a Top 5 QB or a rising star like Mahomes. 

 

Of the $140 million extension  - $65 million signing bonus.  Not to mention what it does to their Cap.

 

Spotrac  Cap # for Seattle 

Team	Signed	Total 51 Cap Space
Seattle Seahawks	66	10,897,527

 

 

ACTIVE PLAYERS (66)	POS.	BASE SALARY	SIGNING BONUS	ROSTER BONUS	OPTION BONUS	WORKOUT BONUS	RESTRUC. BONUS	MISC.	DEAD CAP	CAP HIT	CAP %

Oh this tired trope.

The owners wouldn't be paying that much if they didn't feel athletes were worth it.

Elite athletes generate revenue.

They generate more revenue than they are paid.

There's a great article on LeBron James from the last time he went back to Cleveland 

It charted Cleveland and Miami's team revenue with and without LeBron at both destination s

They showed the correlation the immediate impact of losing and gaining him on each team was over $75million net profit/loss

I'm sure the Lakers and cavs would see similar numbers from last year.

 

I'm sure you have some moral rant that nobody is worth that much, but guess what??

Tickets, marketing, advertising, etc all generate that much money for a team/ owner.

If you are so morally against athletes earning that much $$ the only way to stop it is stop supporting professional sports by boycotting ESPN/etc coverage, all forums, games, TV game broadcasts, merch and such.

If you are still involved and following a team then you contribute to the ever rising $$ they make.

Odd opinion to have, since Wilson has continued his elite play while his team butchered their RB and offensive line situations in recent years. Wilson has what, the 2nd highest QB rating of all time? sorry you just sound like an uniformed hater.

[Charlottebillsfan2]

If Josh Allen turns into the next Russell Wilson he too will eat up 11%-13% of the Bills salary cap. Sorry but that's the reality of landing a franchise QB.

At that price I'll raise my hand saying they should have traded him IF (and that is a big IF) they got a good offer for he is not worth $35 million a year.

Remember when he said he was a “riverboat gambler” for moving up two spots and taking TJ. Dohh!

 

Saw EJ mentioned as a bust last night on NFL network as a bust and I think the guy was a former scout said he had him as a fifth rounder and another GM had him as a TE.

Basketball and baseball players get paid too damn much IMO.  

 

what really makes me laugh with Basketball players...  they take "time off"  as it suits them.

 

If I pay to go to a game I better see a top paid player out there giving 100% and no excuses.  If he's not playing he better have a serious enough injury.

IF he does ....  He's young and would then be worthy of bringing  the team to greatness and keeping them there.

Looking at this from the Seahawks perspective, this had to be done otherwise you run the risk of becoming irrelevant in the NFC West.
